  • Fluid absorbent pad primarily for food products
    Publication number: 20030108646
    Abstract: A pad for collecting liquid exudate from food products is formed by a top and bottom sheet of plastics film with the bottom sheet shaped to define pockets which contain super absorbent particles and are closed by the top sheet. The pockets are perforated at least at the bottom and possibly at the top sheet. The pockets may be stiff enough to hold the parts of the bottom sheet spaced from at the support surface of a tray so as to define channels under the food product through which the exudate can run to access a number of the pockets to avoid unbalanced overloading of the pockets. The pockets are formed in rows and columns where there is overlap at least on one direction to form the channels in diagonal directions of the pad.
